Diamond Platinumz sheds cries as Magufuli bans Wasafi TV for 6 months
Wasafi TV has been banned by the Tanzanian Communication Regulatory Authority (TCRA) for six months over allegedly violating broadcast regulations.
According to TCRA, the decision was agreed upon by both parties after a meeting with the TV station management.
TCRA Acting Director Johannes Kalungule disclosed that the offence was committed on January 1 2020 when the station aired Singer Gigy Money dancing at the Tumewesha festival while dressed scantily.
This happens only three months after Wasafi radio was also banned for seven days effective September 12, 2020.
According to then TCRA Director James Kilaba, the ban was as a result of violating communication regulations and airing offensive language on August 1, 2020, and August 4, 2020, on two programs, “Switch” and “Mashamsham”
